[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 2244038, member: 3854"] The more common version: "But I kinda miss the old days, where we found a magic sword in every adventure, so it was foolish to specialize in any weapon other than longsword. And we used it for level after level -- until we found the +2 sword and just put the +1 in storage (read: back of the character sheet). No magic shops [just like nowadays], no place where you could get a custom item made. A magic sword was common adventure treasure -- you named it "sword +X", bards collected them. You couldn't lose it, because there were no official rules for disarming and sundering aside from various house rules for fumbles. But if you did lose it, you looked on the back of your character sheet for the backup sword. Your weapon was a part of your character sheet that gave you a bonus on your to hit roll and damage, except for those items your DM specially created for you to find and think special because you knew it was directly designed for you to find." All these "in the good ole days" complaints bare little resemblance to the actuality of common experiences. Quasqueton [/QUOTE]
